For a long while Miss Holiday, a 19-year-old lefthander, appeared likely to win her first major title. Her double-fisted backhand was sharp and effective and her aggressive forehand got her several quick points, and until 3-2 in the second set she had the edge.

The Miss Newberry began to attack her backhand. The tactic scored heavily and she was soon assured of the title.

Miss Newberry, a member of the American Federation Cup teams this year, has greater experience than Miss Holiday.
